The story of The Seamstress
Vuillard painted The Seamstress in 1893, in oil on a small board of about 28 x 25 cm. It shows a woman with her back to the viewer, sewing in front of a window, and he left the underlying board exposed in several areas so that the picture looks unfinished. The Indianapolis Museum of Art acquired it in 1969.

Édouard Vuillard
Jean-Édouard Vuillard was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.
